They shouldn't get rid of it, but they definitely should make it look different.
When all the brand titles are mostly indistinguishable, it really makes that title seem less special.

I can't say I blame him. The Universal Title's had a cursed lineage since its first champion had to give it up in short order due to injury. And a good chunk of the title's history was locked up in Brock Lesnar limbo.
Really, once Roman won the WWE Championship, he should've unified the titles. And if they want to create brand-specific championships again, at least make the designs distinct from one another besides a different color strap or center plate.

Just redesign the Universal Title. Make it as representative of WWE but in a different way.

I'd be fine with it since every reign with it has completely sucked but it'd kind of make the last two and a half years feel even more pointless.
At least redesign it though.

Has no real legacy. I don't see why it can't just be merged with the WWE title which has the the more credible lineage at this point, and just debut a new belt design after WM.

Cody always seems too much like a heel to me but he'll be the biggest face in recent memory if he puts the universal title in the bin. (Metaphorically or literally)

Just unify them and end the brand split. It's always a dumb idea.

I’m all for it. I was concerned that calling it the “Undisputed Universal Title” meant retiring the wrong belt, but I trust HHH to respect WWE’s history. Brand split or no, we should only have one main title. Same goes with the tag titles.
And yes, the belt design is due for an overhaul.

not noted in the article was HHH's plan to win the Universal title before retiring it

Bring back the big gold belt. I literally thought that's where they were going with it since Roman seemed to spend most his time on Smackdown but then here we are.

Either really unify the titles or separate them. I hate this duel belt nonsense. Also, I just don’t like titles with overly complicated names. WWE Undisputed Universal Championship it’s a mouthful!
Might as well go call in
Cody: “Roman, at wrestlemania, Iam taking the Undisputed WWE Unify Universal Heavyweight Championship Title from you!”

I say Cody should retire both Big W belts, and bring back the Winged Eagle for the WWE title and the Undisputed design for the Universal and send that to SD
